Smith was sentenced to 20 years for the crime, but she received jail time for 18 months and then followed by 18 months of house arrest (via Alabama.com). The remainder of her sentence would be spent on probation. Smith actually spent seven months behind bars as she was credited for the time she spent in jail prior to trial. She was released in May 2021, but she struggled with the terms of her house arrest.
First of all, Smith faced some financial hardship as she was charged $10 a day for the cost of her ankle monitor. She moved home to live with her mother and brother in Stevenson, Alabama, and she was only able to find casual work from time to time, according to Alabama.com. Smith was arrested for a parole violation later that May, per WAAY TV. And only a short time later, she was again charged with violating her parole related to her ankle monitor. Her mother, Ramona McCallie, felt that her daughter was needlessly harassed by the justice system, telling WAAY TV that "They drug her over the coals for nearly four years and it is still going on."
